UAPD says ‘no’ to assault rifles

BY MAX RODRIGUEZ & FELIPE MORENO The Daily Wildcat

The University of Arizona Police Department declined the opportunity to get M-16 Assault Rifles from Arizona State University’s police department through the Department of Defense’s 1033 program, but possesses other assault rifles for active shooter situations.

The 1033 program allows police departments to acquire military surplus.

“ASU wanted to get rid of their

M-16s within the past 30 days. …

We saw the email and [said], ‘Oh, nope, don’t need it. Thank you, no,’” said Keith Brittain, assistant chief of police.

One local program that did make use of the 1033 program was Pima Community College Police Department, which acquired eight M-14 rifles for their honor guard, according to Chief Manny Amado of the Pima Community College Police Department.

“We use them strictly for ceremonial purposes for the honor guard,” Amado said.

Firearms currently owned by UAPD US Rifle (Caliber 20M1) (AK 7.62x39) KBI (SA-2000M AK 7.62x39) Bushmaster (AR15) Smith and Wesson (AR15)

A common disease found in the Southwest region of the U.S. may soon find a cure through the efforts of the Valley Fever Center for Excellence at the UA .

Coccidioidomycosis, also known as “valley fever” or “cocci,” is an infection caused by the inhalation of airborne fungal spores, specifically the fungus Coccidioides. The fungus is found in the Southwestern region of the U.S., parts of Mexico, C e n t r a l America and South It’s a very America, important according problem to the U.S. Centers for in Arizona — John D i s e a s e Galgiani, Control and director for the Prevention.

The study was published by the CDC’s journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.

According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, the hospitalization costs for valley fever patients totalled $86 million in 2007.

“Two thirds of all infections in the United States occur in Arizona … so we really have a problem. It’s a regional disease of the Southwest,” said John N.

ARIZONA REDSHIRT JUNIOR KICKER Casey Skowron (41) walks off the field after missing a potential game-winning field goal during Arizona’s 28-26 loss against USC at Arizona Stadium on Saturday. Despite missing three field goals against USC, Skowron is still the best Arizona kicker since Nick Folk.

t’s incredibly unfair to blame the USC loss squarely on the shoulders of Casey Skowron.

Kickers are often the blame for close losses like this, but how can you blame the guy who is called

upon to bail out the rest of the team? Is it really his fault the rest of the team failed?

No, it most certainly is not.

Skowron has shown stability throughout the season at a position that has been largely awful over the past decade. Apart from Nick Folk, who carved out a solid NFL career between multiple teams, Skowron is the best Arizona kicker in recent history.

Coming into the USC game,

Skowron was 11-13, and no one was talking badly about him, especially considering how volatile Jake Smith was last year and John Bonano was the year before. Think about this: Even after the 2-5 performance against the Trojans, Skowron is 13-18 on the season and has more field goal makes through six games than Smith had all last season (12) and just one less than Bonano the year

From Japanese geishas to African anti-colonialists, this year’s Humanities Week lectures will explore various shades of female empowerment throughout history.

Starting Monday afternoon in the Dorothy Rubel Room of the UA Poetry Center, Humanities Week hosts the first of 10 different lectures all revolving around the theme “Trailblazers & Hellraisers.” Most lectures will cover a new topic about a region of women who have broken society’s mold.

Ending on Friday evening with a special presentation titled “Wives, Widows &

Whoopee: The Lives and Loves of Russian Women,” Humanities Week will travel the globe through its stories on women who strived to achieve independence.

This final presentation on Russian women will include colorful stories of strong matriarchs who waged war with Napoleon and dressed up as men.

“Our work in the humanities is centered around explorations of the human experience with a global perspective,” said Mary Wildner-Bassett, dean of the College of Humanities.

The lectures begin with a talk by Maggie Camp, an assistant professor of East Asian Studies, on the paradoxical identity

attributed to Japanese women. Fabian Alfie, the department head of French and Italian, will follow Camp in a discussion on an Italian, 13th century female poet, who earned the praise of her male counterparts, which was a commendable feat in her time.

“Women were commonly viewed as naturally more prone to lustfulness and less intellectually developed than men,” Aflie wrote in the article “Like She-Cats in January: An Anonymous Fifteenth Century Misogynistic Sonnet.”

Aflie’s research specializes in medieval literature, and he has previously delivered

Arizonans fight food desert problem

BY Yara Askar

Arizona Sonora News Service

Imagine making a 100-mile trip every time you need fresh produce.

More than 700,000 Arizona residents have no other option.

Arizona’s largest county, Maricopa, has 55 food deserts, and the residents make up more than half of Arizona’s population, according to the Food Desert Locator released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Food deserts are categorized as low-income, low-access neighborhoods that lack affordable fresh produce, according to the USDA. More than 23 million Americans live in food deserts.

In 2010, the Current Population Survey released by the USDA showed one in five Arizonans lived in poverty, tying Arizona with New Mexico for the fifth highest percentage of residents living in poverty. Food deserts usually exist in rural areas and low-income communities.

These statistics can be seen in the food desert area of Ajo, located in Pima County. Ajo has a population of fewer than 4,000 with one local grocery story and is roughly 100 miles away from other neighboring grocery stores. The majority of all produce gets shipped to Ajo. “But what happens when the prices of gas and trucking goes up?” said Gayle Weyers, a community gardener. “Ajo might just pass away; it might die.”

In order to address the issue of fresh produce shortage, Fran Driver, chief executive officer of Desert Senita Community Health Center in Ajo and Nina Sajovec Altshul, director of the Ajo Center for Sustainable Agriculture, promoted a unity garden. Participants grow food locally with the Ajo Regional Food Partnership that was formed five years ago to create a local food system and move Ajo from food desert category to becoming food oasis.

“This new partnership has really increased the supply of food,” Weyers said.

Fresh produce at the Ajo Center for Sustainable Agriculture in Ajo, Ariz. Residents in Ajo are working toward food security by growing their own produce in the town of 4,000.

Weyers has been living in Ajo for 12 years with her husband. Three years ago, both she and her husband started a fruit and vegetable garden.

Recently, Weyers purchased fruit trees worth $300.

Since the partnership began in 2009, Ajo has expanded its garden surface by 40,000 square feet. The partnership started with growing 100 pounds of food, and now in 2014, the gardens are growing more than 3,000 pounds per year. After the five-year partnership, more than 50 families are now involved in local gardening, according to the Ajo Regional Food Bank.

Although Ajo has one local grocery food, Weyers and her husband buy whatever they can find at the market and try to plant everything else.

“I personally can see the increase of attendees at the food market,” Weyers said, “and I can personally see the amount of people that stop at our gardens to talk about food and

Amado said he does not think there is a need for M-14s on college campuses for any other reason.

“We don’t need an armored personnel carrier or anything else,” Amado said.

Although UAPD does not have M-16s, the department does have a variety of assault weapons, according to documents obtained by the Daily Wildcat.

UAPD has nine total automatic rifles, including AR15s, AK7s and four semi-automatic M1 carbines.

“When most people think of assault rifles, they think of an AR-15, or an M-16,” Amado said.

UAPD said the rifles would only be used in a “lethal response” situation, which it defines as a “high likelihood of an armed encounter between the two groups — the police and the suspects,” according to Commander Jason Brei.

“If you have a threat that … justifies a lethal use of force, then that’s when they would be deployed,” Brei said.

Some examples Brei said these situations include high-risk traffic stops, building entries or active shooter scenarios.

“Things like that where it’s a call for service that is a predictable — if there is such a thing — potential for lethal force,” he said.

Brei added that the rifles would not be seen on a “typical officer on patrol.”

Brittain said they need these rifles to be able to match up adequately when a criminal has a similar weapon.

“You want something that hopefully keeps up with the bad guys, for lack of a better term, and this

is our effort to do that,” Brittain said. “A handgun trying to go against a rifle is a losing proposition, so we try to have a rifle against a rifle available.”

Amado said that Pima’s rifles would not be used even in an active shooter scenario.

“We don’t deploy them out to the field,” Amado said. “I was asked by a reporter: ‘Do we use them for active shooter situations?’ No.” In order for a UAPD officer to even be able to carry one of these weapons, they have to go through an extensive training program.

“It’s a voluntary program,” Brei said. “An officer has to want to carry it and then demonstrate it after the week of training. They have to demonstrate the capability and desire to continue to carry it, and they have to attend regular training sessions and annual qualifications with that as well.”

As for the process of actually obtaining weapons, Brittain said UAPD has to go through the same university procedures as any other department, unless the order is under $5,000.

The officers confirmed that UAPD has used the 1033 program in the past, but that it has only ordered items such as golf carts, duffel bags, night vision goggles and four ceremonial rifles for their own honor guard.

“We don’t have a whole lot of interaction with the 1033 program,” Brei said. “We don’t have a lot of the stuff that the bigger agencies do.”

Brittain added that he hopes there is never a day when they would have to use the program to get weapons like the M-16s that they declined.

“I would sincerely hope not,” Brittain said.

“That would be a very, very bad day. Anything short of approaching anarchy, no we’re not seeing that.”

how they can start a garden on their own.”

The community is pushing for more growth in their gardens to sustain more jobs and more locally planted produce. The community received a $96,500 grant from the USDA for two years to improve the capacity of food growth for the farmers market.

Another town in Arizona that is facing the shortage in fresh produce is San Manuel, part of Pinal County, which is more than 50 miles away from Tucson and more than 100 miles away from Phoenix.

Just 20 square miles small, San Manuel has one small grocery market that carries some produce but is typically expensive or the quality is poor, said Joanna Diaz, food service director for Mammoth San Manuel Unified School District.

Most of San Manuel residents work in neighboring towns and rely on other cities to get their fresh fruits

Progress made with training Syrian rebels Tribune news service

SANTIAGO, Chile — U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the U.S. was getting closer to reaching a deal with Turkey about training and equipping moderate Syrian rebels inside Turkey’s borders for the ongoing campaign against Islamic State militants.

Rebel training is already set to occur in Saudi Arabia, where the fighters will be provided with light arms and undergo about eight weeks of training on infantry tactics, calling in mortar fire, using radios and other basic skills.

On Saturday, Hagel said Turkey was closer to agreeing to terms after John R. Allen, a retired Marine Corps general and the special envoy coordinating the U.S.-led international effort against the Islamic State, arrived in Ankara, the Turkish capital, last week to persuade the government to take a more active role against the Sunni Muslim extremists.

“There was considerable progress made,” Hagel said in a press briefing alongside

and vegetables. Diaz, who was born and raised in San Manuel, relies on her husband, who works in Tucson to buy fresh produce.

“We’ve always gone to Tucson to buy groceries, and that has been since I was a little girl,” Diaz said. “I think the older people in their 70s have a harder time making those trips, and they either have kids that make the trip for them or they eat fast food.”

It was cost effective for people to continue buying their produce from Tucson when they had to make the drive for work. Eventually, the market went out of business.

“Kids are relying on fast food because they want to,” Diaz said.

“You have parents that are working all day and they don’t want to cook, so they buy all the French fries and hamburgers.”

Providing a community with fresh produce has to first start with educating not only the children but

the parents, said Edith Harrison, retired food service director for Mammoth San Manuel School District, who has been living in San Manuel for 59 years.

“It’s not about the ability to get fresh fruit and vegetables,” Harrison said. “It’s about the inability of the people to seek it for their children and get it. They wouldn’t give it to their children if it was sold right here in the town, because I don’t think they were raised on fruit and vegetables.”

Harrison said students must be taught at a young age to eat fresh vegetables and fruits in order for that habit to carry over into adult life.

Harrison believes that the number one solution to saving San Manuel is by educating the parents to teach their children at a very young age what food they want them to grow to eat.

“For our town, I think you need to teach the parents that they have to present produce to their babies,” Harrison said. “They can’t say at age 5, ‘My little girl doesn’t like that.’ Well, of course she doesn’t if she hasn’t been taught to eat it.”

The need for fruit and vegetables is essential to children, but Harrison said, unfortunately, children in San Manuel are not raised on that concept.

“Their vegetable was French fries,” Harrison said. “I’m terrified for San Manuel.”

Harrison has been out of the food service for 10 years, and in the last 10 years, she said she has seen obesity rise in the children of San Manuel.

Harrison added that she is surprised by the amount of people who cannot afford their rent, yet they still bring junk food into their houses.

“You have to start with education,” Harrison said. “You try it with the kids, but where it really has to start is with the 20-year-old mothers. They have to understand that those babies need to be feed something besides hot dogs and French fries. They need to eat fruit, but you can’t wait until their 10th birthday to introduce them to these things.”

Chile Defense Minister Jorge Burgos on the third day of a six-day trip through South America.

Hagel added that military officials from U.S. European Command and U.S. Central Command will arrive in Turkey this week to discuss details.

He also said that Allen is talking to other Arab partners to get them involved in the training program.

The Pentagon does not have an effective partner on the ground in Syria and is not in communication with any militia group.

Officials said they hope to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels as a proxy force against the Islamic State, but must first vet the groups, which will take up to eight months.

The drawn-out approach highlights growing questions about the administration’s stillevolving strategy against the Islamic State, which has overrun about a third of Syria and Iraq.

Getting Turkey to train and equip rebel fighters would be a great advantage for the Pentagon, which has seen limited effectiveness in

recent weeks in carrying out targeted air strikes, particularly with the Syrian border town of Kobani. The U.S. military has carried out an aerial assault for a week, yet Islamic State militants are still threatening to take control of the town.

In addition, Turkey has been a difficult partner in the fight against the militants, so having officials there commit more to the effort would strengthen the partnership between the two countries. The Turkish army, one of the region’s strongest, has sat idly by while Islamic State militants encircle Kobani.

Kurdish defenders are allied with Turkey’s longtime nemesis, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party or PKK. The Turks also have not allowed military aid to reach Kobani, which has triggered outrage among ethnic Kurds and led to violent demonstrations across Turkey. At least 25 people were killed in clashes, marking some of the nation’s most violent civil unrest in years, local media reported.

The Valley Fever Center for Excellence convinced the UA that it is crucial for Arizona to find a cure for this disease.

Experimental studies done with infections and laboratory animals have suggested that there might be a newfound treatment called Nikkomycin Z, also referred to as NikZ. “I’m really confident. I’ve worked with the drug in people, and I’m pretty confident it appears to be safe,” said David E. Nix, PharmD and professor of pharmacy practice and science. “I’ve worked with a lot of drugs in my career, and I haven’t found anything that bothers me at this stage as far as safety goes. The real question is how well it will work for that disease.”

What is currently being used for valley fever is a classic drug called azoles, and the most commonly used is fluconazole, both of which are suppressant drugs, according to Nix. The experiment conducted involved delaying the treatment of infected laboratory animals. They purposefully waited five days to start the treatment because it is harder to cure, according to Galgiani.

“The way we did the experiment is that we delayed the treatment,” Galgiani said.

“We didn’t start the treatment right after the infection but waited for five days, which is a harder kind of infection to treat.”

Clickers do little good for students

BY EMILEE HOOPES The Daily Wildcat

O

ur time at the UA is about a variety of things, including learning, studying and socializing.

But the rising clickers trend has been a catalyst for a new phenomenon: professors babysitting students.

I’ve suffered through my own fair share of lecture courses with hundreds of students enrolled. Luckily, my professors allowed their students’ academic performances to represent their attendance patterns, as those who attended class frequently did better than those who did not.

However, not all UA professors take the same approach to learning and ensuring attendance. Elaine Marchello, professor and assistant dean of Academic Programs within the UA College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, uses clickers in her lecture courses. Clickers are electronic devices that students can use to verify their attendance or answer multiple-choice questions.

“Since I have a large class of 800, I use clickers for a few reasons,” Marchello said.

“One, to see which students are coming to class regularly, but more importantly, I try to engage students by using clickers, as well as assessing their knowledge and understanding of concepts.”

Elizabeth Eadie, professor and adjunct lecturer within the School of Anthropology, echoed similar reasoning.

“I decided to use clickers to make class more interactive,” Eadie said. “I was hoping it would release some dopamine like a video game, so it would be more exciting for the students.”

While I respect and admire a professor’s efforts to ensure their students receive the education they are paying for, I simply cannot and will not agree with the implementation of clickers.

First and foremost, clickers are expensive. According to the UA’s University Information Technology Services, new and used ResponseCard NXT clickers can be purchased from the UA Bookstore for prices ranging between $40 and $54. Keep in mind there are always students who only take one clicker-using class in their entire university careers. Clickers are an easy, unfair money grab that targets students into forcefully buying a tool not needed by all university students.

But most importantly, clickers do not help students in the long run. Regardless of what any professor thinks, we’re all adults here at the UA. We are no longer in junior high, and the majority of us, hopefully, have envisioned our goals and futures. Any person who is halfconcerned with succeeding will take the initiative to attend class on their own. And if a professor can’t make his or her class relevant and necessary without requiring arbitrary technological leashes, who can begrudge students who make a cost-benefit analysis and decide there are better ways to spend their time?

The fact that professors feel the need to keep tabs on their students is overbearing and claustrophobic. If we, the student body, need clickers to attend our courses, then who is going to create the clickers that enable us to attend our jobs every day and fulfill our daily tasks? Moral of the story: Selfmotivation is key to success, and, likewise, self-motivation is not developed through implementing useless gadgets.

The clicker policy is nothing but a mere attempt to nickel and dime students and control their right to make decisions for themselves.

He was part of a larger movement sweeping the nation’s campuses throughout the 1970s and ’80s, in which students demanded their universities sell assets in their endowment portfolio, otherwise known as divesting, in companies with economic relationships with South Africa.

Three decades later, the president harkened back to his college days by calling on students at Georgetown University to “[convince] those in power to reduce our carbon pollution.

Push [their] own communities to adopt smarter practices. Invest.

Divest. Remind folks there’s no contradiction between a sound environment and strong economic growth.”

He was campaigning for Fossil Free, a network involved in the fossil fuel divestment movement, with Al Gore at the helm. Since its start on U.S. campuses in 2011, Fossil Free has accumulated over 800 pledges from institutions and individuals to divest billions of dollars in nonrenewable energy sources, including those from groups as large as the World Council of Churches. Last month, the Rockefeller Foundation, a

massive philanthropic group renewable energies remains cost, created by the wealth of oil tycoon which must be lowered through John D. Rockefeller, committed extensive investment in research not only to divest the portion of its and development.

YOUR VIEWS In response to “Westward Bound: Manifest Destiny leads to the UA,” by Elizabeth Hannah (Oct. 10) This is a terrible title for an article. You use a term that has roots in racism, genocide and white superiority.

Manifest Destiny was the concept that was used as justification of the mass murder of thousands of Native people — some of them my ancestors. Daily Wildcat publishing this article with this title is a slap in the face of all students at UA (like myself) that have indigenous blood. We were here before some white guy thought up the concept of Manifest Destiny to justify the immoral taking of Native lands, the murder of entire Native families and the forced assimilation of the

Native people through the Indian boarding schools. It’s like saying we don’t exist or even worse, yes, we exist but we just don’t matter. Is this really the message you want to send to Daily Wildcat readers?

—Christie Humphries Get over it.

—dkdono, in response to Christie Humphries White people should “get over” owning Native lands and release ownership of all sacred lands back to Native people. Why don’t you use your real name on your posting; I do.

—Christie Humphries, in response to dkdono Please. What I see now is racism in another direction. Let’s blame white people! As a Mexican and a Native American, I am ashamed that my people

have created this stupid idea that because “we were here before everyone else,” we automatically should be entitled to this land.

Seriously, move on, and get a real major.

Really, stop blaming the people of the present for the actions of the past. White people of today haven’t done anything, but you, Christie, are so incensed in your hatred of people that you incite the racism that you’re so hell-bent on ending.

—Elvira HayesHernandez, in response to Christie Humphries The reference to Manifest Destiny in your title seems unnecessary and provocative.

one and will eventually need to transition into phase two, emphasizing investment, if it wants to make renewable energies a reality.

“We’re still in the first month of the program,” Brewer said, recognizing the significance of the first step. “At this point, it really is about spreading the word and getting people to understand what we’re doing. Just moving the money out isn’t going to cause any major changes — no matter if every university in the world did it, it would still not entirely dissuade oil producers.

But I think investing in start-up businesses and green companies will make a much larger financial impact on the overall market.”

Unlike apartheid, the root problem in climate change and unsustainable energy use is not just societal; it is also economic.

Switching from fossil fuel reliance must address both aspects. The Rockefeller example and Obama’s call to align economic goals with a “sound environment” must become a central emphasis.

Change cannot stop with divestment, although it is an important first step.

Climate change is one of the most important global crises of the century, and how we choose to deal with it will define our generation. Let’s ensure that the definition is a flattering one.

and lands of the West?

As thoroughly recorded in historical documents, Manifest Destiny was a white supremacist political philosophy that was already controversial, even in the 1800s. That is clearly not the topic of this article.

That being said, the article uses a few vague code words like “increasing the diversity.” It might be a better idea to be more explicit about who was included or excluded throughout these decades.

For example, It could be said that in the early 1950s, UA was one of the few large public universities where Latinos (and some American Indians) could actually enroll and succeed.

Flagship universities in most other states remained segregated until the 1960s or even 1970s. This is obviously not the author’s focus, but it is more relevant than the bizarre claim of Manifest Destiny.

we impose guilt upon White people just because of events in the past. Christie says that we shouldn’t be using words like “Manifest Destiny” because of events of the past. Seriously?

Christie, grow up.

Everyone is entitled to their right to say whatever they want and however they want. Don’t get your feathers ruffled. A misapplied word doesn’t mean that the author is racist or that they are horrible. Stop blaming whites of the present for all the problems in the world.

What I see from Christie’s comments is more inflammatory and disturbing than the two words in a title. Christie wasn’t even born before some white guy and her ancestry (and my ancestry) were killing each other and looting other civilizations before the white man ever showed up. Let’s stop the blame game and move on.

—Dr. Marcus Quiroz in response to Christie Humphries

Christie is an example of “acceptable” racism, where

POLICE BEAT

Repeat tailgater?

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call that an individual had been dumping food over the fence of The Little Chapel of All Nations on Sept. 24.

Upon arrival, the UAPD officer spoke with the reporting party, who directed him to the dumping location. It was on the north side between a shed and a wooden fence surrounding the property, and there were approximately five or six piles of what appeared to be food.

The reporting party directed the officer to the south side, where there was another pile of what looked like the same trash. There was another pile that was dried up on the northeast side that was possibly the same garbage. The piles smelled foul and had the scent of rotting food or vomit.

The reporting party informed the officer that as days passed, the piles increased in number. They were all similar and could have come from the same source.

The reporting party said someone who tailgated nearby for football games may be the individual who was throwing the trash.

No suspect information was known at the time, and the reporting party was advised to continue checking the area periodically and around football games to determine if it was a random act or if it was a tailgater.

‘Too much’

A UA student was issued a Dean of Students Office referral on Sept. 27 for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

A UAPD officer was dispatched to a lot on Vine Avenue around 5 a.m. Upon arrival, the officer spoke with an individual who identified an unresponsive male student.

The individual said the man called him for a ride from the 7-Eleven on Park Avenue and Speedway Boulevard. The man was laying on the floor, his shirt was covered in vomit, and he was unable to answer any questions or sit up on his own.

The Tucson Fire Department arrived on the scene and gave the student medical assistance.

The officer asked the reporting individual if he had been with the man throughout the night. He said, “No,” but was aware he consumed an entire bottle of Smirnoff vodka and had used cocaine. He also said the party the man attended was on Speedway Boulevard.

The individual handed the officer the man’s wallet and cellphone. Upon looking for identification in the wallet, the officer was informed the male student’s CatCard and driver’s license were missing and that someone at the party may have taken them.

The individual informed the officer of the dorm the student lived in. Due to being unresponsive, TFD transported him to the University of Arizona Medical Center. The officer contacted the resident assistant of the student’s dorm to confirm he was a resident. The RA confirmed he lived there.

The individual was identified as an 18-year-old. Upon attempting contact around 10 a.m., a nurse was able to wake the man, who identified himself. The officer read him his Miranda rights, which he said he understood.

The male student said he was at a house party. He admitted to drinking vodka, but when asked how much, he said, “Too much.”

He was unaware of who provided the vodka and also denied any cocaine use.

Washington State actually got on the board first when senior Jamie Schnieders got open in the Wildcats’ penalty area from a nice through ball from one of her teammates and easily finished past Kaufman in the 14th minute.

Trailing 1-0 early, Arizona didn’t flinch but instead reversed the game’s momentum entirely when senior forward Alexandra Doller hit a spectacular shot that grazed Washington State goalkeeper Gurveen Clair’s gloves and into the top corner of the net in the 26th minute.

The Wildcats took the lead off a set piece in the 32nd minute when two Arizona freshmen hooked up for a goal as midfielder Gabi Stoian’s corner kick found the head of freshman forward Charlotte Brascia to make it 2-1 Arizona.

Just minutes later, Doller scored her second goal of the game and sixth of the season for the Wildcats as she finished off a nice set of combination passes from her teammates in the 34th minute to give Arizona the two-goal lead at the half.

The start of the second half was more of the same from the Wildcats when another corner kick set up by Stoian ended up in the Cougars’ goal in the 48th minute. Stoian’s corner created a scrum in the Washington State penalty area, and it was Arizona senior defender Mykaylin Rosenquist

No. 17 Arizona (2-0-3) was swept

by No. 1 ASU (8-0-0) this weekend in Tempe, Ariz., during a two-game rivalry showdown.

The Sun Devils got their first rivalry win of the 2014-2015 season as they beat the Wildcats on their home ice. However, the last time these teams met up in Tempe, it was the Wildcats who ruined ASU’s senior night, breaking a 37-game Sun Devil winning streak.

Tensions were high on Friday as an early skirmish broke out and led to two Arizona penalties, while ASU had three men sent to the box.

Three different Sun Devils scored as ASU jumped out to an early 3-0 lead over Arizona. UA sophomore forward Alex O’Dea put one in the net during a power play with assists from Will Pointon and Michael Adamowicz.

O’Dea was the only Wildcat to score all weekend and has three goals on the season.

“We need to be a little more disciplined, stay out of the box and try to get more pucks to the net,” O’Dea said. “ASU is a very skilled team, so we need to be able to limit their time and space and cause them to play under constant pressure.”

ASU out-shot Arizona 33-20 to win 4-1 Friday.

On Saturday, the scoring began just 2:30 after the puck dropped as ASU forward Sean Murphy hurled one past Arizona goalie Garrett Patrick. Arizona held the score to 1-0

Kristina Aubert brings leadership to the desert

ARIZONA REDSHIRT SENIOR Kristina Aubert crosses the finish line, winning first place in the three-mile race with a time of 16:40.00 on Sept. 19 during the 2014 Dave Murray Invitational at Del Urich Golf Course. Aubert transferred from Arkansas State and has adjusted well to her new team and college.

“When everyone knows where the ball is going to go, it’s a lot easier to defend,” Rubio said. “If we can get a little more even distribution, then it’s going to be better for Madi.”

Not to mention he has a higher field goal percentage than both Smith and Bonano.

Instead of chastising Skowron and putting him in the same conversation as Alex Zendejas, talk about how the defense failed to stop the run for 75 percent of the game.

I know the 3-3-5 is unique in the fact that just three defensive linemen are up front, but letting one player torch you for 205 rushing yards is downright ridiculous. With all said and done, USC finished with 239 rushing yards — and that is the most the Wildcats have given up all year to one team. The previous high was 193 yards against California.

Talk about the lack of a rushing attack.

Freshman Nick Wilson did not dress for the game, and starter Terris JonesGrigsby left the game due to injury after registering just 32 rushing yards. That left third-stringer Jared

errors and 23 attack errors, including 10 errors in the deciding third set.

Combine those errors with a paltry .082 hitting percentage, and it’s no surprise Cal was swept.

For cross country athlete Kristina Aubert, this realization didn’t occur to her while on a nice stroll on the UA Mall, but, rather, on a strenuous run during her first morning in Tucson.

“Even at 9 a.m., I learned that it’s very hot here in early August,” Aubert said.

The Crystal Lake, Ill., native has adjusted to her new home quite nicely since that sweltering first day.

A senior transfer from Arkansas State, Aubert chose the UA for its competitive women’s cross country team, as well as the school’s public health program.

Q

How soon can I take a home pregnancy test? How accurate are they?

A. As soon as your period is one day late, you can take a home pregnancy test (HPT) and get very accurate results.

HPTs work by screening for the presence of hCG, a hormone produced during pregnancy, in the urine. Most HPTs sold at pharmacies and other retail stores claim to be 99% accurate after the first day of a missed period. However, research indicates that early use (in the first days after a period is late) may be too soon to detect lower levels of hCG and will often render very faint results on the test strip.

Though most women will produce enough hCG to yield an accurate test as soon as their period is late, there are several steps to increase your confidence in the results: read and follow the instructions carefully, make sure the test isn’t expired, wait a week after your period is late to test, take the HPT first thing in

the morning, and wait 10 minutes to read the results.

If you prefer someone else to determine whether you are pregnant or not, the presence of hCG can be determined through blood tests available through your health care provider. Blood tests, though more costly, have the benefit of determining if you are pregnant as soon as 6-8 days after ovulation-that’s over a week sooner than a home pregnancy test should be used.

HPTs are available from the Campus Health pharmacy for just $7.99. If you get a negative result, it’s probably a good idea to test yourself again a few days later. If your test is positive, you’ll want to make an appointment with a doctor or nurse practitioner right away to confirm the results. For more information on pregnancy testing or to discuss your options, contact Campus Health’s Women’s Health Clinic at (520) 621-9202.

features such as “Cars,” “The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille” and “Monsters Inc.” in their transition to Spanish, Japanese and more.

One of Weber’s most wellknown credits, however, is for the television series “Lost” that aired on ABC from 2004 to 2010. Weber said his experiences while mixing sound for such a complicated television show were difficult but enjoyable.

“After mixing ‘Lost,’ anything’s easy,” Weber told the students at his talk on Thursday. In 2008, the mixing team for “Lost” won the

Emmy Award for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series, which Weber said he considers his biggest accomplishment in his work.

After his 21 years at Disney, the production studios decided to outsource postproduction and essentially got rid of Weber’s department.

Because of his talent and experience in the field, however, Weber quickly found a position in sound at Smart Post Sound where he is now, among other things, sound mixing for the television program “Person of Interest.”

Weber’s extensive

background in the field made him the ideal person to give a talk and workshop to aspiring sound mixers and designers.

During his workshop, Weber discussed his experiences, demonstrated the Pro Tools program he uses, and gave students valuable advice on how to navigate the industry.

“Make sure you love what you do,” Weber added, “and give it 200 percent.”

ASU author, professor chats about Q A & new book on Andy Warhol shooter

BY IAN MARTELLA The Daily Wildcat

Breanne Fahs, an associate professor at Arizona State University and a private practice clinical psychologist, read from her new, unauthorized biography, “Valerie Solanas: The Defiant Life of the Woman Who Wrote SCUM (and Shot Andy Warhol)” Friday night at Antigone Books.

Solanas, a veritable mystery, wrote a number of interesting and provocative pieces, and was well-known for being one of Andy Warhol’s Factory actresses. the Daily Wildcat asked Fahs to elaborate more on this woman who ended up trying to assassinate Warhol.

Daily Wildcat: Your book posits the woman who wrote, “The male is a biological accident … an incomplete set of chromosomes,” in an empathetic light. Can you explain how?

Fahs: The SCUM Manifesto, which is what that quote is from, plays with the notion of satire, of reversal. There are lots of things, especially in the mid-1960s, that were being lobbed at women about their “natural inferiority,” the sense that they’re driven by biological imperatives. Valerie’s playing on that by performing this dramatic reversal — saying about men the things that were commonly said about women.

After reading the first five pages of the SCUM Manifesto, I stopped laughing and realized that many of Solanas’ points have a lot of truth to them. To what extent was it supposed to be satirical, if at all?

The bottom line is that we don’t know whether or not this is supposed to be satire or 100 percent serious. After all these years reflecting on that, especially in light of her shooting Andy Warhol — but also in various interviews clearly framing the SCUM Manifesto as a kind of performance — I think it was simultaneously both of those things. As a document, it is both absurd and, in her mind, very true. That’s kind of the power of

BREANNE FAHS, associate professor of women and gender studies at Arizona State University, reads from her new book “Valerie Solanas: The Defiant Life of the Woman Who Wrote SCUM (and Shot Andy Warhol)” on Friday. The reading took place at Antigone Books as an installment of the Friday night discussion series, which is co-sponsored by the UA history and gender and women’s studies departments.

what absurdity is, in a literary sense.

What would you say is one of the most intriguing things about Solanas?

She is full of contradictions in every imaginable sense. Her sexual orientation is impossible to nail down. She is arguing for the killing of all men, yet has deep and meaningful relationships with different men. She talks about prizing asexuality and celibacy while she’s working as a prostitute. There are endless contradictions about her that raise questions around a person’s biography and their writing and how we reconcile those two halves.

Did Solanas have any particular religious views?

I’ve never come across anything that suggested she had

any reverence for religion. In the SCUM Manifesto, she rails against religion as arguing for the supremacy of men over women.

I can’t imagine that, in some ways, that didn’t mirror her own views about religion. There’s no evidence that she ever attended church or worshipped anything, really.

very instructive about the things you feel deeply passionate about.

It’s a genre that teaches people to figure out where their own voice is in a way that is very important for undergraduates in particular.

They need that. They need to have a sense that what they have to say is meaningful and huge and sweeping and big.

Why do you ask your students to write their own manifestos?

The manifesto is incredibly irreverent and urgent and talks about sweeping social reforms.

It uses collective pronouns, like the collective “we,” and evokes without even defining who that is. It’s very emotional as a genre, and these are things that I think students don’t have very much exposure to prior to reading manifestos. The process of trying to write your own manifesto, using that kind of language, is

What classes are you teaching in the spring at ASU West women’s studies?

HUMANITIES FROM PAGE 1

a talk for Humanities Week in 2012 titled “DANTE #&@%!: Dante’s Poetry of Insult.”

Bonnie Wasserman, a visiting assistant professor in African Studies, will shift Monday’s discussion from medieval Italy to post-colonial Africa as she presents various literary representations of “Mother Africa” across different cultures. Wasserman is an expert in Portugese-speaking African literature, and has written a book on the metaphorical oppression found in this literary genre.

By Friday afternoon, the conversation will travel to Germany in a talk on the bobbed-haired, chain-smoking modern women of the Weimar Republic. Presented by Barbara Kosta, the department head of German Studies, this lecture will delve into the emergence of socially independent, metropolitan women in Berlin after World War I. Taking a break from these worldly lectures on Thursday, Humanities Week will welcome poet Benjamin Alire Saenz to read pieces from his published works. The recipient of the 2013 PEN/Faulkner Award for fiction, Saenz has been named one the “Fifty Most Inspiring Authors in the World” by Poets and Writers Magazine.

“I want my writing to be taken seriously, because being a writer is the most important identity I have,” Saenz said in a 2013 interview with the Los Angeles Review of Books. Saenz said the memories of his deceased mother remain a powerful influence in his writing, as he considers her the most intelligent women he’s encountered.

Love for the ladies continues up through Friday evening — with a reception of desserts and champagne at 6 p.m. preceding the presentation by the Department of Russian and Slavic Studies at 7 p.m.

This is the seventh year the College of Humanities has hosted these week-long lecture series.

Previous years have seen lectures cover topics such as the historical significance of “Downton Abbey” and the cognitive appeal of Internet memes.

All lectures are free and open to the public. A special reception with gelato ice cream will kick off Humanities Week on Monday at 5:30 p.m.
